Rewind: The Week in Rock Daily

American Idol fever swept through Rock Daily as David Cook received twelve million more votes than David Archuleta. We live-blogged the song-off and highlighted our favorite moments of the finale. Next week, we perilously trap Cook into a corner and make him answer your question. We put our tape recorders to good use and had the interns transcribing double-time as we talked to Genesis about their massive reunion tour, Mudhoney’s Mark Arm about Superfuzz Bigmuff, Bun B about his fallen rap partner Pimp C and Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Anthony Kiedis about the festival he’s curating and his band’s hiatus. All we learned in that pre-law class we took sophomore class finally came to fruition as the R. Kelly trial kicked off, Slick Rick got pardoned and Phil Spector will once again spend many days in a courthouse. The video department was on Final Cut overload as Tokio Hotel taught us how to speak German and Breaking band Sam Champion performed in a van. [Photo: Becker/Getty]
